Xgimi recently launched a new version of its Z9X projector in China. It is called the Z9X 4K High Brightness Edition, and it costs 3,298 yuan ($488). The device builds on the standard Z9X released last year, mainly by incorporating a brighter light source.
Xgimi Z9X High Brightness Specifications
The projector uses a new triple-color RGB laser from Nichia, specifically the QuaLas 42. This brings the brightness up to 1,600 CVIA lumens, which is an 8% increase over the older laser module. For contrast, it has a native ratio of 1,600:1 and a dynamic ratio of 30,000:1.
It supports HDR Vivid and covers color spaces like DCI-P3 and 110% of BT.2020. Because triple-laser projectors can sometimes struggle with speckle and color fringing, the device has an SGS certification indicating those specific visual artifacts have been minimized.
On the optical side, the projector includes a 0.98 to 1.3:1 optical zoom lens. This allows it to project a 100-inch image from 2.17 meters away. Because the zoom is optical rather than digital, users can adjust the screen size without cropping the image and losing the native 4K resolution.
The physical unit is relatively small, weighing 1.5kg and measuring 7.8cm thick. It sits on an integrated gimbal stand that provides 150 degrees of vertical adjustment to help with positioning.
For gaming, the projector supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). It operates in a dual mode, allowing for either a 4K resolution at 60Hz or 1080p at 120Hz, with Xgimi claiming input lag as low as 1ms.
The software integrates with the Mi Home ecosystem and Xiao Ai voice control. It also includes standard automated setup tools like auto-focus, real-time keystone alignment, obstacle avoidance, and wall color adaptation.
For sound, it has built-in speakers that support Dolby Audio. On the back, there are two HDMI ports, one of which has eARC for connecting an external soundbar or receiver, and two standard USB 2.0 ports.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched the affordable Redmi Projector 5 Pro with 120Hz refresh rate, 1,000 CVIA lumens, and Dolby Audio, along with the Redmi Projector 5 featuring 1080p resolution and a built-in gimbal.
